Abstract
Purpose
Task interruptions (TI) are frequent disturbances for emergency professionals performing advanced life support (ALS). The aim of our study was to evaluate a specific training intervention with TI on the quality of simulated ALS.
Methods
During this multi centered randomized controlled trial, each team included one resident, one nurse and one emergency physician. The teams were randomized for the nature of their training session: control (without interruption) or intervention (with TI). The primary outcome was non-technical skills assessed with the TEAM score. We also measured the no flow time, the Cardiff score and chest compression depth and rate.
Results
On a total of 21 included teams, 11 were randomized to a control training session and 10 to the specific TI training. During training, teams’ characteristics and skills were similar between the two groups. During the evaluation session, the TEAM score was not different between groups: median score for control group 33,5 vs 31,5 for intervention group. We also report similar no flow time and Cardiff score.
Conclusion
In this simulated ALS study, a specific training intervention with TI did not improve technical and non-technical skills. Further research is required to limit the impact of TI in emergency settings.
期刊介绍:
Australasian Emergency Care is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to supporting emergency nurses, physicians, paramedics and other professionals in advancing the science and practice of emergency care, wherever it is delivered. As the official journal of the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia (CENA), Australasian Emergency Care is a conduit for clinical, applied, and theoretical research and knowledge that advances the science and practice of emergency care in original, innovative and challenging ways. The journal serves as a leading voice for the emergency care community, reflecting its inter-professional diversity, and the importance of collaboration and shared decision-making to achieve quality patient outcomes. It is strongly focussed on advancing the patient experience and quality of care across the emergency care continuum, spanning the pre-hospital, hospital and post-hospital settings within Australasia and beyond.
